Ten to three in the morning and competitors are beginning to set their bikes up at T1 ready for the third running of Celtman.
It is a ‘simple’ test of extreme physical and mental endurance that consists of :
Swim (Loch Shieldaig)
Fastest swim – Johan Nykvist [2012 Celtman]Cycle (Shieldaig to Strath Carron via Gairloch)
Fastest Cycle (Women) – Susanne Buckenlei – 6:51:03 [2012 Celtman]Run (Coulin Pass and Beinn Eighe)
Fastest Run – Johan Hasselmark 4:41:19 [2013 Celtman – 2nd in 2013]Conditions seem a little better than 2014 but a very long and tough day for all the competitors who hopefully will enjoy some of Scotland’s finest scenery. Everyone who completes Celtman is a winner it is just that someone finishes first.
2013 – Graeme Stewart – 12:16:15
Good luck today to all Celtman 2014 competitors and support crew. I hope to see you on the route throughout the day. Images should be available on line from Monday.
